forgiveness: Eko Atlantic city is definitely not going to have a match in Africa when it's completed. ***** It's a pity that the builders of Abuja centennary city are not serious. |

kikuyu1: rvp20183: Hmm, interesting. I think you guys are very correct. **** The divisions in Ethiopia is far more than Tigray hatred. Every ethnic group seems to be at each others throat over there. Believe me, Nigeria would have been worse than Ethiopia, had we not dissolved the old regional systems and created a unitary system of government. >>>> The only people who have not integrated and will never integrate into Nigerian mainstream culture are the Hausa fulanis and Kanuris. Otherwise, other Nigerians wine, dine and intermarry each other. If I may ask, do Kenyan Swahilis and Somalis socialize and intermarry other Kenyans? |

kikuyu1: Yeah. Kenyans seem to have a very wide range of facial expressions. There is really no stereotypical Kenyan look. >>> Many Nigerians unfortunately use the Masais and the Kalenjin marathon runners only to judge Kenyans' looks cos that is what they mostly see on TV about Kenya. I used to fall in this category in the past . **** I have observed that many Kenyans (Bantus and not even Kenyan Somalis) and Rwandans look cushitic like Horn Africans. Many other Kenyans look South Sudanese, many others can pass for Southern Nigerians. But it seems like Rwandans have a very similar culture, accent and lifestyle with mainstream Bantu Kenya right? •••• On Trace Mziki (the only channel on DStv that shows mostly east African music), I sometimes find it hard to distinguish which countries which musicians came from. Take for instance, this song below, I always thought these ladies were Kenyan until yesterday! Pls can you tell me what language is being sung here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VPm78zRlPc And this lady, I though she was Tanzanian, only to discover that she is also Rwandan. Is the language she's singing in also Swahili or Kinyarwanda? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbhVk1_TWTs ~~~~~ I never thought Rwandan or Burundian songs were shown there too, I always thought it was Kenyan, Tanzanian or Ugandan cos obviously Rwandans speak french. How wrong was I, it seems like Rwandans now speak English a lot as of late right? 1 Like |

bantudra: No they don't. But they look similar. >>>> Tigrays look quite different from Oromos and Aamharas look different from Omotic speakers and etc. I can manage to tell them apart |

forgiveness: Simply true. For instance, not until I came across this thread did I even know the importance of pictoral views of cities. ***** I have come to the conclusion that Nigeria may be seriously lagging behind in terms of development, but it seems like we definitely have more developing urban areas per population compared to other African countries except South Africa. And this definitely occured due to the early proliferation of Nigerian states. Do you think this military era proliferation of states was good for us? >>>> For me, I think it was good but we would have stuck with the first 12 states only. As this would have given us 12 very powerful and better developed cities today compared to the dozens we have now (many of whom are shadows of their past selves). 2 Likes 1 Share |

ednited: Ok dear, I'll be waiting for the pics and videos **** Having a national cultural day is so beautiful, we do not have such in Nigeria Why do you say Abiy may not succeed in keeping Ethiopia one? I'm curious. Is he bias? >>> So, you mean many Eritreans have been living in Ethiopia? By the way, can you easily tell Eritreans apart from Tigray Ethiopians? |

ednited: Oh dear, sorry for the late reply. Discussing with these guys is actually giving me a headache >>>> I don't think Buhari will make it this year unless of course he and his party rigs the elections (which would be difficult for him of course). I will vote for Atiku, not because he is good, but because he is better than Buhari in my view and only him stands a better chance against Buhari. He is more enlightened and less of an ethno-religious bigot than Buhari, even though he and Buhari are from the same ethnic group. Many other reasons quite lengthy to explain. |

Nowenuse: >>>>> To think that I have finally found a Kenyan singer which I so much admire ( , I'm in tears right now). The accent and the changaa drinking in the video were exactly parts of the reasons I thought THE BEN was Kenyan! I also discovered Butera Knowless was Rwandese and not Tanzanian. East Africans tend to look quite alike to each other. **** Yes, I watch Trace Mziki where East African musics are mostly shown on DSTV. |

NairobiWalker: I also give up on explaining anything to you either. @ the bolded in your last paragraph shows that I've been pouring water in a basket all these while. You just never understand what one says. ***** Just for the records, no slum borders any high end neighbourhood. The places you guys claim are slums are just a neighbourhood in a suburb you claim are slums but are not. Those beautiful houses and estates I showed are not neighbouring to the areas you guys claim are slums, but are actually in those places. You guys force words into people's mouth to buttress your points from an already made up mind. >>>> Perhaps you may want to look at the google map pictures below from Durumi, Mpape, Koroduma & Kpaduma (the places you guys claim are slums). Besides, koroduma and Kpaduma are not even part of the FCT, they are in neighbouring Nasarawa state. I'm happy other viewers and the whole world are reading all these, they would be able to judge for themselves who is being more reasonable. Peace !

Kur17: Saying I find so so and so people more attractive than others has now become spiting venom? ***** You guys should not make me believe that you are true representatives of what the average enlightened Kenyan talks like. Perhaps you missed the part where I also praised Kenyan women for their hot bodies. Like I said earlier, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. >>>> At least Nigerian women have proven their beauty to the whole world by being the first and only black african country to produce a Miss world. We are yet to see such from Kenya. |

naijalander: Wow, I haven't related with Kenyans on a personal level, so I really can't say or confirm. However bro, I think you may be too harsh on them with your words. Pls let's be more civil and diplomatic with our words. Do the educated and enlightened Kenyan men also appear the way you explained above? ***** Personally I also do not find Kenyan women and Southern African women facial features attractive compared to that of west African women. However, when it comes to body shapes, they are hotter. >>>> Nigerian guys are just so handsome and stylish when compared with other African men. I observed that only Tanzanian and Congolese guys can give our men a run for their money in Sub Saharan Africa. Oh yes, Ethiopians too (when it comes to face though, but not physique). |

NairobiWalker: Thank you. Iwantslavesgone, I am calling out on everyone who insists on making this thread an insultive and hate-spewing thread. >>>> For God's sake, how are we going to look like before our children when they grow up and see the manner at which their parents displayed utter childishness in discussions? The fact that this is a faceless forum without identities does not mean that we have to take advantage of it to display our deep seated insecurities. Cos I highly doubt most of us would have been able to say the things we say here if it were platforms like facebook where our true identities are at display. Thanks |

TayserMahiri: Judge yourself from your speech if the manner and tone with which you are writing is one in which an enlightened and reasonable person should write. ***** I know I displayed some form of bigotry in opinions times back and if you were here when I re-joined this thread, I apologized for those. I also made it clear that this was the reason I left nairaland as a whole for more than 14 months. However, can you please show me one statement I made where I denied the existence of dark skinned Nigerians? Failure for you to do that should be a shame to you, showing how you try to force words into people's mouth in an utter display of behaviours which reeks childishness and absurdity. >>>>> If I can remember clearly from the past, all I asserted were facts that Nigerians dress better than Kenyans and Nigerians have more light-skinned people than Kenyans and yeah! the fact that what Kenyans deem as normal dark skinned people were regarded as extremely dark skinned people here in Nigeria. Hell yeah, I still stand by these words. Just that I may no longer be interested in highlighting these points anymore cos they may make me tow a path of seemingly bigoted expressions which I do not wish to embark on. Thanks 1 Like |

Kur17: You mentioned Durumi? Mpape and others? Durumi is where I used to live in Abuja. ***** Kindly look at the pictures below showing houses for rent in Durumi & Mpape. (sighs) God, how do I explain these things to you guys to understand? Ok let me start somewhere for you Kikuyu1 and NairobiWalker who have quoted me on slum topics. ¤¤¤ A slum is supposed to be a community with a heart of it's own just like Makoko or Kibera. A slum is supposed to have it's own schools, government representative centres, polling units, possibly health centres e.t.c in other words, a life of it's own. This is what you cannot find in Nigeria apart from Makoko. You Kenyans just find it hard to believe. Perhaps because you think our country should definitely be like yours (pls I do not mean this in a demeaning manner). What I meant was that, you guys expect your housing systems and that of ours to be the same. But it is not. We do not have the same housing systems. •••••••• In most urban parts of Nigeria, the rich, the middleclass and the poor sometimes live together in the same suburb. People can buy lands almost in any part of the city and develop it to taste, that is why you can find beautiful mansions and gated houses in predominantly low income areas with parts which may pass for a slum. So, let's say in Mpape suburb, there are neighbourhoods which can pass as a slum, in same Mpape, you'll find more beautiful middleclass estates and houses as you can see from the picture below. So, in the real sense, those slummish neighbourhoods are not the definition of what Mpape is. They are just an illegal section of Mpape which managed to develop in a short time evading the attention of the environmental authorities. However, they cannot evade the environmental authorities for so long , so they get demolished in a very short time (search google for demolition in Mpape and see for yourself). ***** This is why when you guys mention any Nigerian suburb which you think is a full blown slum, we will show you guys beautiful houses and estates from that same place. The only place we cannot do that for is Makoko! This is because Makoko is what it is! A full blown slum. A community with a heart of it's own. Lagos state govt has tried to demolish Makoko, but it failed because how do you just destroy an entire community with over a hundred thousand people? ¿¿¿ However, google demolitions in Abuja and see a whole lot of developing slummish neighbourhoods being demolished year in year out... Our former FCT minister who is now the governor of Kaduna state (El Rufai), his nick name is MAI RUSAU (which roughly translates DEMOLITION MAN in hausa language ). The name was given to him because of the way he demolished every springing illegal settlement of Abuja while he was the minister of the city. ****** So, here is the new! The illegal house builders are now moving to the village settlements of the indigenous natives of Abuja city who were resettled outside Abuja. This is because they know that the government cannot easily go and destroy the villages of these natives. So, yes, FCT (and not Abuja) may start having slums in the future if the government doesn't start invading these indigenous villages cos this was exactly how Makoko evolved, from an indigenous fishing village. 2 Likes

NairobiWalker: You see why I called you an obnoxious person? Can you show me one sentence where I called Kenyans ugly? ***** I only said that I find Tanzanians more charming than Kenyans. And this is definitely due to the dozens and dozens of East Africans I see on television. I watch a lot of East African music and sometimes tune into East African dramas. I have seen quite many east Africans at least for me to have an opinion. >>>> All black women are beautiful ! There is a big difference between charming and beautiful. Being charming comes down to a likeable, attractive and fascinating personality while being beautiful just boils down to mostly facial appearance.... ΔΔΔ naijalander, I am not talking about ladies alone. Hey, I am a lady and look out mostly for the guys For instance, not until I came across a new Kenyan singer called THE BEN, I had never found any Kenyan male musician so attractive. But in Tanzania? In Congo? OMG I find their men so charming with an extremely unique fashion sense. I hope you get my point. naijalander: |

forgiveness: It's very true. Nigerian buildings, streets and aerial views tend to have very limited pictures online. **** For instance there are very beautiful parts of Kaduna and Jos that I would like to have posted here, but one just can't find them online. >>> It seems like Kenyan cities and buildings have more pictoral views than Nigeria's, perhaps for tourist reasons. |

Can you tell me more about it? Any videos or links? Why do you say you can't be sure if you're still safe in ET? Since Abiy ascended power, there has been a lot of news about him all over. ++++ We all saw the tears and emotions all over when friends and relatives from Ethiopia and Eritrea were united.

kikuyu1: With all due respect. The first picture clearly is not Abuja. That is Makoko, the only full blown slum in Nigeria on waters. ***** Abuja is not a riverine terrain, so it's impossible to have such an area in Abuja. >>> As for the 2nd picture, you will have to give us an aerial view of the place to prove to us that it is a full blown slum. I live in Abuja and there is no where known as Abasokoro. I had to do a google for it and google itself does not recognise that as a place. Instead it referred me to Asokoro (one of the richest neighbourhoods of Nigeria, where the federal govt house is situated).
